Don't forget to cop her album, "4" is out today. 


Check out Bey's interview with Piers Morgan:

Question on her relationship with Jay-Z
Jay and I have kind of made a decision to be known for our music and not our relationships or scandals. It’s hard sometimes because I’m like” Okay, I can’t talk about him” but he’s amazing.Question when she met Jay-ZI definitely had a very natural friendship and connection with him. We’ve been together for a very long time and I’m very happy.
Question having a baby and turning 30

I always said I’d have a baby at 30. I’m 29. But I also said I was going to retire at 30. I’m not retiring.
Question on her performance at Glastonbury in front of 175,000
Well before I performed I was so scared. I was like a leave shaking. I was really, really afraid. I had to say “Forget that it’s 175,000 people, pretend like it’s just the date you did two days ago. You’ve been doing this your whole life. Just have fun.” We all got together and said our prayer, we took our breaths and tried to exhale all the negativity. I just had to tell myself I deserve it.  I’m a diva,  I’ve worked hard and I psyched myself up. Once you hear the crowd and pass the first couple of minutes then it’s time to rock and it’s time to have a good time and enjoy the optimum.Question On referring to herself ‘as a diva’ and being proud of it
Well because I’ve met what a diva is supposed to be. I’ve met Patti Labelle and Tina Turner and I’ve met these incredible women that are graceful.
Question on her definition of a diva
Graceful, talented, strong, fearless, brave, and someone with humility. I think it’s an appropriate time to be a diva. I did not show up in my costume that I wore yesterday because it’s appropriate for the stage. There’s a certain mentality and certain aura that’s appropriate for the stage but it’s only appropriate for the stage.
Question on her mother and father teaching her how to work hard
My mother worked 13 hours a day and I never heard her complain. She worked until her feet were callused. My father was such an incredible entrepreneur and any and everything he said he would have, he worked until he had it. He taught me there’s no such thing as ‘no’ and I had a lot of great support. I think the support is really a huge factor in my success. Knowing that if something didn’t work out, I still was loved and having that security is really important.
Question on what her mother Tina has taught her
[She taught me that] Beauty fades and who you are from within is forever. Be a woman of your word and hard work. She is always correcting me and I feel like it doesn’t matter if you are the janitor or the President, everyone is the same. Making sure I keep my humility. I remember when we first had our single on the radio and I was starting to feel like I was hot. We were in the record store and she was talking to me and I started singing because I didn’t wanna hear whatever she was saying. I was about 15 and the song was playing on the radio and I’m like ‘yea’ and these guys were looking like ‘ouh that’s Beyonce!’ and I thought I was hot. She smacked the crap out of me in that store and sent me to the car. She said, ‘I don’t care what song you have on the radio, you are my child. You do not disrespect me!’ and I will never forget it.
